Art History Happy Hour, live from Florence, Italy!
Join Renaissance art historian Elaine Ruffolo for a virtual presentation on the life and times of Donatello by looking at the artistic world of Florence around 1400, considering how new ideas shaped the way artists worked and why the city itself encouraged patronage and artistic expression. Follow Donatello’s career from his apprenticeship to becoming the premier sculptor of the Florentine Republic and consider how developments in his art mirror new and exciting changes in painting and architecture during the period.
